IT'S estimated that of the SO, 200 post

changed 5000 of them. There is more
bowling among spOils Democrats over

An Investment that viii Inure to the Bene-
/ lit of Fort Worth.
1t is we'll known that an effort was made
! by representative of the Farmers Alliance
! in Tarrant county last season to establish
cotton yards in the city of Fort Worth for
| the benefit of Alliance farmers. Owing
| to the fact that the undertaking was not
! commenced till late in the season, and the
further adverse circumstance of an
! exciting political campaign, the move
ment did not result in success. APP
preciating the mutual benefit of the
| yards To the producers and the business
men of this city, the plan was not aban-
dOned by its projectors, and is again
brought to the consideration of the citi-
zens of this city. AcOmmittee from several
of the strongest alliances il the county
has been empowered to urge the CO.
operation of the merchants here and
ask their substantial support
toward making permanent yards
for the storage of cotton. The commit
tee Will meet in the Office of State SeCre-
tary Moore on Friday night. Their Sc
lection OF Fort Worth for these yards
means the bringing here not only of the
cotton produced By the Alliance men Of
this county, but of large portions Of
Parker, Wise, Johnson and othe- tribu-
tsry counties. If Fort Worth does her
part she will get all this cotton and the
resultant trade; otherwise, yards are
liable to be ESTABLISHED all over the county
at smaller towns.
The committee will only ask reasonable
assistance in the matter, and if they Sc
cure it and the yards are located here,
there is no question of largely increased
trade the coming season for the. mer-
chants of Fort Worth.

Terrible Surgical Operation.
A FATAL MISTAKE.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Press of February
%, 1888, Published an account of fatal
surgical operation which caused great
connection among medical men through
out the whole country, DR.. Thayer, the
most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pro-
nouncing it scandalous. 1t appears that
q Mrs. King had been suffering for many
years from some disease of the stomach,
which had resisted the treatment OF ell the
physicians in attendance. The disease
commenced with slight arrangement of
the digestion. with a poor appetite, fol
lowed by peculiar indescribable distress
in the stomach, a feeling that has been
described as q faint Gall gone" SEN
sation, q sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing q disagreeable taste.
This sensation was not removed by food,
but, on the contrary it was increased.
After awhile the hands and feet became
cold and sticky cold perspiration.
There was a constant tired and Ianguid
feeling. Then followed dreadful ner-
vousness, with gloomy forebodings.
Finally the patient wes unable to retain
any food whatever, and there was con-
slant pain in the abdomen. All pre-
scribed remedies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it was de-
cided that the patient had a cancer in the
Stomach, and in order to save the pa
TENTS life an operation was iustihable.
Accordingly, on the 22d of February,
1888, the operation vas performed by DR..
U,noo 81 tho y,-aSo,,ro Of Dr TuckprDep
Dr. Perrier, DR.. Arms, Dr.. Gordon, DR..
Capner and Or. Halliwell OF the police
board. The operation consisted in lay
ing open the cavity of the abdomen and
exposing the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examination of the
organs was made, but to the horror and
DISNEY of the doctors there was no can
Ger to be found. The patient did not
have cancer. When too late the medi-
cal men discovered that they had made q
terrible mistake; but they sewed the
parts together and dressed the wound
that they had made, but the poor wG1lan
sank from exhaustion ana died in few
hours. How sad it must be for the hus-
band of this poor woman to know that
his wife died from the effects of sursi-
cal operation that ought never to have
been performed. If this woman had
taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration for this was
what the disease really was, she would
have been living to-day. SHAKER
EXTRACT OF RooTs, OR SEIGEL's
CURATIVE SYRUP, a remedy made
expressly for Dyspepsia or In
digestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all other
kinds of treatment have failed. The evi-
dence of its efficacy in curing this class Of
cases is too voluminous to be published
here; but those who read the published
evidence in favor of this dyspeptic rene !
dy do not question its convincing nature,
and the article has sn extensive sale.

In view of the fact that tae Senate has
set the Pecos valley irrigation bill as a
special order for next Monday, the % To,
The GAZETTE reporter knowing that this
bill is Of great importance t. the people
OF North west Texas, hunted up gentle
man who is well informed relative to the
prscticability Of the enterprise, and has
given much thought to the beneficial re-
suits to the state at large by the passage
Of such law. When asked if ne thought
irrigation would benefit the state, he said
that taking it for granted all will admit it
to be the first and paramount duty OF
Texas TO furnish facilities for it's people
to get homes, then it follows that the bill
by which it is intended to irrigate the
PecOs valley is q step in the right diFec-
ten. 1t is q fact admitted by ell CON
Versant with that valley that the sou is
all that could be desired, thas Tiers is
sufficient water to irrigate nearly - gate
500, 600 acres and that in their preseat
condition these valley lands are almost
worthless either for agriculture or pas
turage. Nature evidently intended this
valley to be irrigated. Now the ques-
ton is, how can II Pest be
done? The state owns nearly
or quite One.haIf of these lands, hence
the state can afford to assist in their de-
Velopment, and if the state lands are sold
at 81 per acre to g company, who will
construct canal by which the balance
Of the states lands shall be increased IN
value, the state has lost nothing IN
money, and has furnished facilities tor

Prophecy Concerning Germany.

1t is declared that Prince William is the
kaiser's favorite. The people regard him
as the next emperor. for the feeling is a
settled one that the crown prince will not
live to succeed the kaiser. Though young,
he shows strength and courage, and in his
own family brooks 10 interference. His
wife is u year his senior, and thoroughly
German woman. The people say there
will be no English influence from her, as
from the 'rg"n princess, who has been
English from FIRST to laSt-a clever woman
in many ways, hut not clever in conceal
ing her lack OF sympathy for German Gus
toms and the German people.
Then there is the prophecy brought for
ward by the German people, who are
somewhat superstitiOus. Germany is to
be greatest, il says, under Il young ruler
who has but one arm, and has four sons.
He is TO succeed an aged sovereign, carry
Oh a great war successfully, and prove an
other Frederick the Great The Germans
see in this the destiny of Prince William,
who was born with one arm, partly de
formed, short and stiff. And they see in
his character nj! the requirements of the
prophecy. even down to the four sons
But. the power Of Germany wanes after
this ruler, and she is then TO 20 down and
become az insignificant nation. So runs
the prophecy. Cor New York Sun

A fearful spectacle was witnessed at
Dax on the AdOur, France, few weeks
ago. 4 band Of Spanish bull fighters had
introduced u powerful black steer upon
whom Joselto. the matador aimed q blow,
bat missed. and he was run down by the
brute. A cry Of terror arose. But Jo-
selto was up again aud seemed unhurt.
He now succeeded in stabbing the bull at
the chest, but the animal stood its ground.
A second and third thrust had no better
effect, although the man succeeded in
pushing his weapon to the hiit into the
animal, from which the blood ran in tor
rents. That was too much for the spec
tators They began crying with pain,
bowling with disgust, and prepared to
iiuish the cruel Spaniard. Several times
he still succeeded in piercing the steer
with his sword, but could not stop the
animal from constantly charging against
his enemies. Now glasses and bottles
and chairs were hurled by the spectators
upon the Spaniard, who ran away, hand
ing his sword TO another man. who also
pierced the bull again and again without
finishing him. Several men then attacked
the beast with swords and lances, and
finally brought it down. But the spec
ta2le had been too much for the auditory.
Toere arose fearful cry Of vengeance
Npon the Spaniards, and the high and
strong inclosure was being attacked The
Spaniards, however. were fortunate
enough TO make their escape before the
lyuching parties could lay hold Of them

Such details as all these are apt t.
sound To US strangely unreal as we read
them somewhat in the light Of travellers
tales, with reference to far away lands:
but 1t certainly is startling when, for the
first time we realize how exactly desCrip
tive they are of the medicine lore of ouI
own ancestors--in truth, to this day we
may find among ourselves some survjrals
of the old su' 'erstitionS still lingering in
out Of the way corners. Thus il is only a
few years sinCn the skull Of a suicide was
used in CIitnncss as drinking cup for
the cure of epilepsy. DR.. Arthur Mitchell
knows Of II case in which the body Of such
a one was disin;errcd in order to obtain
her skull for this purpose.
1t was. however, accounted more sure
specific for epilepsy to reduce part of the
skull to powder and swallow it. Even
the moss which grew on such skulls was
deemed n certain cure for various diseases
Nor was this simply a popular superstition
In the official Pharmacoppia Of the Col
lege Of Physicians, of London, 4. ID. 1913
the skull Of a man who has Cicd violent
death and the horn OF unicorn appear as
highly approved medicines. Again, in
1924, the same pharmacopGia mentions
unicorn's horn. human fat and human
skulls, dogs dung. toads, vipcrs and
worms among the really valuable medical
stores. The pharmacopGia was revised in
l142, and various ingredients were re-
jected, but centipedes, ripers and lizards
were retained.
Nor We're these strange compounds pre-
pared for human subjects only. In the
Anglers Wade Mecum," published in
1851, anglers are recommended 10 use an
ointment for the Turing of fish, consisting,
among other horrible ingredients, % mans

A special word for the coffee is needed.
The Turkish coffee is seldom liked at first
Oy strangers, but it does not take long for
one to learn TO like that SO well that no
other coffee ever tastes half SO good.
There is small brass thing between q
dipper and kettle with a capacity for
two, four or more cups marked upon it.
Into this is put cold water. a teaspoon
heaping full of sugar for each cup and a
small teaspoonful Of coffee ground as fine
as -four for each person. These are added
to the cold water, and then the ebrick. or
coffee kettle, is pushed down into the
Goals Of the manga, or brazier, and just as
1t is on the point Of boiling, before it does
the coffee is poured into tiny porcelain
cups, which hold as much as half an egg
shell. This cup is then placed into .
beautiful gold OF silver filagree coffee
holder, and is served with tray Of
glasses of water. First you drink the
water to leave your mouth clean enough
to appreciate to the full the delicious
aroma of the coffee. No milk or cream is
added and the coffee is thick with
grounds, and on the top of each cup
should be foam called kaimac, or cream.
As soon as you enter a harem the chief
Lady, or bascadine hanum. claps her
